Button Controls (passing)




Passing


Ground Pass

Control: Press or Hold ‘PASS’ Button


Your most basic Pass type to move the ball around quickly. The longer you hold the Button down, the further the Pass will travel and corresponding teammate will be selected as the receiver.

Pressing the Pass Button does the following:

Quick tap: Pass to the closest Player that you're aiming to.

Hold: Selects a player in the furthest position. If a defender passes when holding, then it skips the midfielder and goes to the attacker.

Max hold: The longer you hold the Button down the further the Pass will travel and corresponding teammate will be selected as the Receiver.



Pass and Go

Control: Press or Hold ‘PASS’ Button and Swipe 'DOWN'



You can send your controlled player on a run towards the Goal after making his Pass by swiping down the PASS Button. The player will make the run until he reaches the Offside Line or you lose possession of the ball.


Lob Pass

Control: Press or Hold ‘PASS’ Button and Swipe ‘UP’



You can use the Lob Pass to switch the side of play or send the ball up the field faster. The longer you hold the Button down the further the Pass will travel and the teammate that you aim at will be selected as the Receiver.


Ground Through Pass


Control: Press or Hold ‘THROUGH’ Button


This pass type is a leading pass into open area, allowing your teammate to run onto the ball and preserve his forward momentum. The longer you hold the Button down the further the Pass will travel and corresponding teammate will be selected as the Receiver.


Lob Through Pass

Control: Press or Hold ‘THROUGH’ Button and Swipe ‘UP’


This pass allows you to send the ball over defenders and into an open spot for your teammates to run into. This is especially useful in the attacking third when trying to beat the offside line and utilize open space in front of the goal. The longer you hold the Button down the further the Pass will travel and corresponding teammate will be selected as the Receiver.


Cross

Control: Press or Hold ‘PASS’ Button and Swipe ‘UP’



When in the Crossing Zone, which is the area left and right to the penalty box, use this lobbed pass to whip the ball into the penalty box for your teammate to head it into the goal. You can control whether you want to cross near or far post, depending on how long you hold the button down.

You can select between Full or Semi Assisted Crossing in the Settings as well. With Crossing Assistance OFF, you have more control over the Power and corresponding Distance of your Crosses. 

Ground and Low Cross

When in the Crossing Zone, use these two cross types with their low and driven trajectory to cross the ball into the box. Ideally used when you have a clear crossing path to a teammate and aim for a diving header or sliding shot.


Ground Cross

Control: Press or Hold ‘PASS’ Button and Swipe ‘LEFT’




Low Cross

Control: Press or Hold ‘PASS’ Button and Swipe ‘RIGHT’



Advanced Passing


You can enable advanced forms of passing in "Settings", then tapping on "Preferences" and toggling "Advanced Passing" on. 

Advanced Passing allows you to perform Dinked Ground Passes, Driven Ground Passes, Dinked Ground Through Passes, and Driven Lob Passes

 
     Dinked Ground Pass

Control: Double Tap ‘PASS’ Button


A Pass variation that travels with a slight elevation to avoid a defender's leg. These passes are great for working in tight spaces or if there is a defender in your way.

Driven Ground Pass

Control: Press or Hold ‘PASS’ Button and Swipe 'RIGHT'


A faster version of the regular Ground Pass. Driven Ground Passes are a great way to push the pace of play, make your way up field quickly, and thread the needle in tight spaces. Due to its pace, receivers are more likely to take a poor first touch.

Dinked Through Pass

Control: Double Tap ‘THROUGH’ Button


A variation of the Ground Through Pass with slight elevation to avoid a defender's leg. It's useful to work in tight spaces that a regular Ground Through Pass could be intercepted.

Driven Lob Pass

Control: Press or Hold ‘PASS’ Button and Swipe ‘LEFT’



A Lob Pass variation that travels with more pace and power. It's useful to cover long distances quickly, but it's harder for receivers to control their first touch.  

Trigger Run

Control: Press or Hold "THROUGH" Button and Swipe 'UP'


Trigger one of your players to make an attacking run forward when you’re in possession of the ball. The direction of your touchpad dictates which player will go on a triggered run. You’ll see yellow arrows appear beside the player when a trigger run is initiated. You can trigger up to 4 runs at once during a single possession and in any part of the pitch.
